A Fascinating Friday Afternoon Learning About Home Grown Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Alums enjoyed a private tour at the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park (HKSTP), the largest innovation hub in Hong Kong with over 1200 tech ventures. The tour began with a visit to the HKSTP Experience Centre, where we explored 11 immersive and interactive exhibition zones showcasing remarkable achievements including AI, robotics, biotech, and construction technology.

Next, we attended an online investment pitching event featuring six startups from diverse industries ranging from logistics, financial services, education, to advanced material manufacturing. The session was very informative, and we had the opportunity to interact with the startup companies during the Q&A.

Following the pitch event, we took a short walk to InnoCell, a sustainable and smart-living complex for HKSTP tenants. The complex is well-designed, providing a comfortable co-living environment for technology professionals and their families - perfect for socializing and exchanging ideas within the community.

The afternoon ended with happy hour drinks at Harbour Grill where alums enjoyed the beautiful sunset over Tolo Harbor.
